    Pills pills and more pills. Exercise and diet.
    Went to see the cardiologist. Another pill. More dizzy. Slowly adjusting. I like retirement also, but don't like being so short of breath with minimal activity. Now can't walk to the car without resting 10 min. just to get my breath back. Pulmonologist says to use inhaler proactively to see if that helps.

    I had one of the female Docs tell me she would like me to be on a standard dose of Amlodipine, I asked if she'd be another cane for me.

    Yes, Shot only lasted about a week and back to the same BS. :( Going Monday for shots in the neck to see if it helps the foraminal stenosis At C5-C6, C6-C7, C7-T1

    They won't touch me due to the spinal stenosis. 2 docs both said surgery is the only thing I have to look forward too, But tried the shots anyway. Holding that chit off as long as possible.

    Looking for a specialist that strictly treats this chit. :makeitrain"

    Yes. I took my back out while working many years ago, and could barely walk. I basically crawled into his office, and an hour later walked out upright.

    I know you'll find a good one, not being able to do things is like being jailed by your body.

    As soon as I have had enough of this doctor in charge of the shots. My Primary care doc will refer me to the specialist in UConn medical. I will have to be referred as my insurance wont cover it.

    Pain is bearable as long as I don't have to stand for hours at a machine making parts. No working is about the only way out of that! :(

    Pellet fired pizza oven with stone rotisserie. There's a lot of different models but not many have the rotisserie.

    Mimiuo Wood Pellet Pizza Oven with 13

    Turn your gas or charcoal grill into a smoker:

    Date Night Store - Date Night Doins BBQ For Two

    There are so many restaurants trying to do outdoor dining now that gas patio heaters aren't available. So, some guy invented a pellet patio heater. There's even a model available with a built-in pizza oven.

    We have the Q-Flame patio heater. We don't use it too often, but love it when we do.
